ICEBREAKER: DAY 16
Today we are shooting a very intense scene between the characters Keith (played by Justen Overlander) and Sam (played by Emily Fradenburgh). I don't want to give too much away regarding the scene, because it does involve a turning point in the story.
We shot this scene in a dorm room on the ** ****** campus in St Paul. The dorm is doubling as Keith's apartment. The set was bare, so we had to fill it to make it look like an apartment. Luckily, our location managers Randy and Mary were able to help us out by donating a couch, tv, tv stand, end table, coffee table, etc. Eric Lee also donated the use of his Playstation 2 and Randy was gracious enough to make a Target run to purchase a PS2 game and a Johan Santana poster. With all the stuff combined, it made the dorm look like...a dump basically. Which was what we were looking for anyway.
The shoot itself went great, and the actors were spot on with their performances. This scene is going to have a HUGE impact on the film, I can't wait until you all can see it.
We also shot some stuff with a toaster...
After the shoot, we had lunch at Davanis with Jeremiah (one of our investors) and his lovely girlfriend Marissa.
After lunch we cut the crew loose and returned some of Randy and Mary's stuff. Then we shot some driving around cutaways of Emily and Justen in the car. We tried rigging something up from the back of Eric's truck, but the road conditions in St Paul were less than favorable.
The next thing shot was in Bloomington. Chad, myself and Emily shot the remaining portions of the near car accident between Sam and Gary. It was tricky, but I think it will look convincing on screen.
Day 16 was a great day and we got some great work done. Kudos to all the cast and crew, and to Eric, an actor pretending to be a PA. Just kidding, you did a fine job sir.
